If I Never Knew You

If I never knew you

If I never felt this love

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can be

And if I never held you

I would never have a clue

How at last I'd find in you

The missing part of me

In this world so full of fear

Full of rage and lies

I can see the truth so clear

In your eyes, so dry your eyes

And I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever, if I never knew you

If I never knew you

I'd be safe but half as real

Never knowing I could feel

A love so strong and true

I'm so grateful to you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Lost forever, if I never knew you

I thought our love would be so beautiful

Somehow we make the whole world bright

I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong

All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night

But still my heart is saying we were right

Oh-oh-oh

If I never knew you

There's no moment I regret

If I never knew your love

Since the moment that we met

I would have no inkling of

If our time has gone too fast

How precious life can be, oh

I've lived at last, yeah yeah

I thought our love would be so beautiful

So beautiful

Somehow we'd make the whole world bright

I thought our love would be so beautiful

We'd turn the darkness into light

And still my heart is saying we were right

We were right

And if I never knew you

If I never knew you

I'd have lived my whole life through

Empty as the sky

Never knowing why

Lost forever, if I never knew you

Yeah

Ooh
